Dear -project, For those not yet aware, Rothschild Patent Imaging LLC has filed a lawsuit against the GNOME Foundation on the grounds that their "Shotwell" photo manager violates patent §9,936,086:
https://www.gnome.org/news/2019/09/gnome-foundation-facing-lawsuit-from-rothschild-patent-imaging/ If we can leave the legal merits of this specific case or of software patents in general for another time and venue, can I seek agreement that the Debian Project would publically stand with the GNOME Foundation against this attack on a cherished sister project of ours and, by extension, on free software in general? I plan to draft and publish a short "micronews" statement if there is consensus here. Regards, -- ,''`. : :' : Chris Lamb `. `'` la...@debian.org 🍥 chris-lamb.co.uk `-
